BEFORE YOU GO
SPECIAL PARK EXPERIENCES
There are several awesome behind-the-scene tours available to add on to your SeaWorld® experience. The Beluga Interaction Program and Dolphin Interaction Program allow visitors to get in the water with these beautiful creatures. Learn how to feed and communicate with them-and best of all, have fun playing! If you don't feel like getting in a wetsuit, the Dolphin Encounter is a similar experience-you just stay on dry land next to their enclosure. For those who love those birds in tuxes, the Penguins Up-close Tour is for you. See SeaWorld®'s world-class facility and meet one of these waddling wonders!
AN ARRAY OF RIDES
Whether you're a roller coaster fan or prefer to play it safe, there are fun rides at SeaWorld® San Diego. Those seeking thrills can get on the Manta, a roller coaster experience that dives down and up like a ray through ocean waters. If you don't mind getting wet, try the Shipwreck Rapids! The newest ride is the Emperor Roller Coaster; the tallest and fastest floorless dive coaster in the state. If that's a little to extreme for the tots, they can hop aboard Elmo's Flying Fish or Oscar's Rocking Eel. Everyone will like the Skytower, an elevator with 360-degree views on the city. Another great way to see the park and Mission Bay is Bayside Skyride, a gentle aerial gondola-especially gorgeous at sunset. For fun that's all about the kids, head to SeaWorld®'s Sesame Place in Chula Vista, which is chock full of shows, characters, and plenty of kid friendly rides.
